Persia is a nation born of the forging of countless kingdoms into an empire too large to be ruled effectively by one sovereign. Each country is ruled by a number of lords, who in turn are ruled by their satrap, king or shah, who in turn must pay tribute to the Shah-an-Shah, the Risen King of Kings: Darius the Eternal.

Once, before Alexander’s conquest, the many kingdoms of Persia would make war upon one another, Persian would fight Persian for the sake of an insult to a lord. But the common enemy found in Alexander put a stop to such overt hostilities and the wrath of Darius continues to keep the peace.
